Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Corbin Carroll #TF-7 sells for $3,096 against $1,008 raw: a $2,088 spread, 3.1× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($2,814) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
